Anyways, I made a wishlist of some things I've had my eye on, planning to get, wishing for, or just found online and want in my hands. Let me warn you, it's a lot. I'll bold my absolute favorites and italicize anything I've either already ordered or just have already. I'll also try and group items by store/website/and all that jaz. Check it out below.
First stop is Revolve
1. The Oshea Booties from Jeffrey Campbell
First of all, can we talk about the color? It's perfect for fall. The reds with brown undertones are in, and I need these on. Hint hint: I'm obsessed with boots. Can Santa or Jack Skellington (he's like the Santa of Autumn) bring these to me tomorrow?
Then we have Nasty Gal
White Fox is a website I've only recently come across, and it definitely caught my eye
3. Boyfriend Ripped Jeans from White Fox
I'm all about the skinny jeans, but I've been on the hunt for a good pair of boyfriend jeans lately. They just look so comfy, and so many people have raved about them. Besides, I saw Amrezy, on instagram, rocking these, and I was sold. The best part is that the rips make them edgier, so they don't quite look like I stole my mom's jeans from back in the day. I think they have white and lite wash? The ones I was sold on, though, were the black and the dark wash. I'm all about wearing these with a cute heel or booties and an old band tee shirt or with a sleek heel and a white halter. It's just a nice staple piece to have in your closet. Fall Must Have!
Urban Outfitters is one of my favorite shops, and I can't ever walk in without a piece I absolutely love
If they aren't Jeffrey Campbell, they must be Docs. That's how it usually seems to work with me, now. I am crazy for Docs! I've had two pairs of Docs, before--they were on my feet almost 24/7--but they've outlived their days. Basically, I need to restock my Doc Martens. These are perfect for that. They have the perfect little femininity with that rockier edge that comes with all Docs, essentially I'll be able to dress them up or down. If I know I'm going to be traveling, I'd probably make these one of the few pairs I take with me, because they really are so versatile. These aren't specific to just either, so I'd wear them all year round. Besides all of that... the quality, I mean c'mon. I already know they would last a long time... I mean Docs are really good quality. Fall Must Have!
5. Scallop-Edge A-Line Skirt from Cooperative
The color is fall, and I'm just all over it. It'd be awesome with a pair of classic docs and this over sized band tee, maybe tucked into the skirt. It's the perfect lazy day but cute outfit. I just say yes yes yes. This outfit needs to come to life!
Morphe Brushes is a cool website where I've found myself purchasing brushes a lot, lately, but they also have makeup! I actually got my first brush set from them, too (such an AMAZING quality).
This is the perfect Fall palette. I finally ordered it online, and I'm so so excited to get it. Besides, Jaclyn Hill made a tutorial on it and recommended it. Anyone who knows me has heard me say this, too... If Jaclyn Hill says I need it, I get it! Really, though, this is an awesome awesome palette, and it's worth the money. My friend, Jax, loves loves Morphe and is the one who got me to start trying their stuff. I haven't looked back since! Thank you, Jax! Sadly, it sold out in about 4 and a half hours, but it'll be back! This is definitely a MUST HAVE!
I'm always shopping online at Missguided, and it's definitely one of those places I have bookmarked and ready for when I want to revamp my closet.
I'm typically not into midi dresses, since I'm only 5'5. I'm pretty sure the best way to describe my legs are hobbit-like. I have a longer torso, I think, but I'm told that makes me a good swimmer? I mean I guess being a mermaid is just in me. Anyways, I'm also not a fan of the whole ribbed sweater material on a dress, but this is so fall. I figure I can't diss it until I try it. I keep thinking this style wouldn't work on me, but I've seen so many people rocking it. It's time to take a plunge and give it a try, so what better time than in fall and with Missguided?
We're back to jeans! These are skinny jeans, though. I'm a loyal skinny jeans wearer, especially black jeans. I also love that these have rips. I'm all about the rips. Besides, you can never have enough pairs of jeans, so of course these pair of jeans are a MUST HAVE!
Topshop is ultimately one of my other favorite shops, and I probably love it even more than UO.
I'm really feeling these button up skirts, right now, and this color is so fall. I've actually been looking at this skirt for a while. It's been giving me Coachella feels mixed with fall. It's just a nice staple piece to have, as well. This style keeps popping up everywhere, so why not? It'd look great with this black top.
Now, this is a shop I just came across, but Tobi definitely knows what fall is all about.
Okay, so this might not scream fall, but it absolutely screams staple piece. I love love neutrals. The color, the pattern... this is a must. It's edgy chic and a nice twist to a typical skirt. This skirt would make for an awesome city outfit. Besides, I've been looking for a skirt like this for a few months and whoever said no white after labor day CLEARLY didn't take into consideration this awesome awesome creation.
A shop I've been going to since the beginning of high school... maybe even before(?) has been Forever 21, and they have quite a selection to pick from (that's always a plus)
Okay, I've been wanting these awesome Jeffrey Campbell lace up boots from Free People since... forever, but I can't get myself to spend the money($300+) on them, since I do tend to get boots a lot. I wouldn't be wearing them every day... I feel like I'd be wasting money, even though I would wear the heck out of them. Okay, okay... I'm basically sabotaging myself into not buying them, and I'm not sure why. Anyways, these are a much cheaper alternative. These are open-toed, however, but they'd look awesome with a pair of denim shorts or some flowy rompers.
13. Orbit Midi Ring Set and Layered Matchstick Drop NecklaceI love getting jewelry from Forever. I mean it's not like they last forever. Things rust and that's that. What I love is that Forever has a lot of choices for quite affordable prices compared to the other shops. I tend to go for the dainty pieces on a daily basis, and these are perfect. I do like a statement piece here and there, but less is usually more. These have a perfect bit of edge with them while not being overwhelming. I always see fall as a season to let the leather jackets, boots, and bags do more of the talking and keeping the jewelry simple.
Lurelly is a new shop to me. They have the most stunning dresses, though... let me just emphasis that a bit more. Lurelly has the most STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS dresses. It's one of those shops that makes me wish my life was full of events that required exquist dresses. Yeah. Can all of my friends get married?
14. Noir Dress by Lurelly
Like I said, this shop has stunning dresses. Granted, I probably can't go grocery shopping in these, but I could try. lol I do love looking through their catalog and drooling, but this time I found something that I very much want ASAP. The perfect little black dress. Now, black dresses are a must, regardless of the season. Lurelly has this perfect dress with just enough edge. Knowing me, I'm ready to throw on a leather jacket on top with slicked back hair and an intense smoky eye. It'd be the perfect fancy date night outfit. It's a staple piece for me, so by default I need to deem this a MUST HAVE! Also, we need to take a moment to acknowledge Bryana Holly, who has been everywhere lately. She's stunning, and if anyone could sell this dress it's her.
This may be our most exciting stop yet, Zara. I adore this shop far too much, and it's one of those shops where I let myself splurge more than I should. It can be a bit on the pricey side, but it carries items with amazing quality without the insane price tag.
15. ScarvesJust because California isn't the most spirited in regards to Fall weather doesn't mean that other places aren't cold. Soooo, this fall pick is a little more targeted to those lovely places in the world. (PS I'm jealous) Anyways, I'm all about softness and Zara has that. I mean, think about it... I do. If I'm going to buy a nice scarf, I'd like it to live for years... none of that tugging and ripping or anything. Oh, and the whole nice until you wash it and it gets fuzzy? NOPE. That's why I love Zara. Their products will stay the same. Okay, back to the scarves. The two fall scarves that caught my eye are as follows... The first one was a rich dark brown, like the color of hot chocolate before you throw some marshmallows on top, YUM. The second comes in a variety of colors. One of those colors was an orange brick hue, but it had a brown undertone... so no, don't let the mention of orange scare you; it was stunning. Then there was a black and white one... wow. This one just sang my name in every pitch. The last was in a maroon tint, but I was just so drawn to the black and white one before it, that it was overshadowed. I mean the black and white scarf just drew me in. It wasn't the colors but the detail of the black and white colors together that made me say YES! Talk about a staple piece!
These are quite something else. The blocked boots have made a comeback and are everywhere. These, however, are more than just a blocked heel. They have a twist, and they give me a bit of Hocus Pocus feels, to be honest... it's in a good way, though. They vibe me rock n roll, and I'm ready to sport these at a concert with a beer in hand and my favorite leather jacket on my back. Plus, Zara shoes are insane quality. These boots would be my ankles' dream. Don't forget the tiny illusion of longer legs that these give you... and you can bet that I want that illusion. These are selling so fast, and my size is gone (say it aint so). I'll wait, though, because they are a MUST HAVE!
We're all familiar with Chanel here, right? I mean we don't have to own said brand to know what it is. We at least all know that the price tag attached to a Chanel bag is crazy, and I might as well sell my soul to four different demons in order to afford a Chanel bag (that was a joke btw). Well, this is an awesome dupe for a specific bag of theirs which I've been wanting for quite some time. Anyone who loves Chanel probably knows what bag I'm referring to. Anyways, this had all the lights guiding me to it when I saw it. I'm quite the picky one with my bags, but I can't help it. It's not about the brands, but I can't help when I'm aware that certain brands just make things that I tend to like A LOT. I mean it might have been while I watched The Hills and Lauren Conrad got her Chanel bag for Christmas that I realized that not only was she my favorite, but she also shared my love for Chanel. Off topic, huh? Well this bag is classic with the perfect little edge that I look for in my buys. That simple. I want it. I want it. I want it.
Rock chic. That's what I breathe. I love being put together but being different. I'm about the leather and zippers. I'm about the cool boots and silver/pastel hair. I like going from beach girl to I might be the lead guitarist of this band... you don't know. Fall is when all of the bands are touring and, I'll be wearing these at 4/7 shows, because it won't be too hot/ too cold; it'll be leather pants season aka FALL.
19. Leather JacketsWith leather pants come... wait for it, wait for it... Drum roll, please... LEATHER JACKETS. The more zippers and buckles... THE BETTER. I mean as long as we don't hit bedazzled levels. You don't want TOO MUCH going on with your jackets, either. I got my favorite leather jacket, to date, from Zara last year in Paris. It's perfect for layering and is perfect for all weathers. Take not that I wear leather jackets all year round, but it just so happens that Autumn is the "accepted" time for leather jackets. That only means that every shop and their outlet counterparts are fully stocked with tons of different options. Now, I've learned that Zara is the best shop for jackets. Like I said earlier, Zara carries high end quality without the insane high end price tag. This one for example is a little different than the usual fitted jackets I go for, but you better believe I'm already loving it! MUST HAVE!
Nordstrom is next on the list, and it's another great shop. Prices vary, but the quality doesn't.
Sticking with the leather jacket theme, this is a gorgeous one. It's a great option and is perfect if you prefer the more fitted structure. It's great quality and for added bonus is just under $100.
21. Watches (Daniel Wellington, Larsson & Jennings, Fossil, Marc Jacobs, and Michael Kors)
I have zero watches. I had a wrap around, but it has long been dropped over the London Bridge, and it's time for a new one. Watches make me feel grown up, and at 21 it's time I embrace adulthood... or pretend to. Besides, watches are pretty, and they tell time. Sometimes you can't tell where the hands are really pointing... I mean it's blank... Is it pointing at 2 or 8? Where are my imaginary lines? Anyways, I found some neat watches that my bank account would hate me for, but I really do want them all. Daniel Wellington is up first. Larsson & Jennings is another watch that's sleek and simple. This option is all blacked out, though, and quite more on the pricey side. I'm sure you've seen this one all over instagram. The leather strap makes me crave it like a leather jacket from Zara. It really is simple and nice, though. Now, the whole "boyfriend" style isn't just popular in jeans. It's come over into the watches department as well. This Fossil watch is referred as the "perfect boyfriend" while still being significantly feminine. Back to the darker watches. Marc Jacobs has this rounded watch, also blacked out with an added gold accent like the Larsson one but with a nicer price tag that won't attempt to bankrupt you. Michael Kors also has this option for the black watch lovers, like me, but this one also has a bit of that "boyfriend" style (I actually really like this one... a lot). Some other options from Michael Kors include this wrap around watch, which is a nice color change as well, and the last option, which is a rose gold watch that perfectly combines the boyfriend style with the right pinch of femininity. All of these watches are absolutely great picks. Think Fall with your Starbucks in one hand, cloud-like scarf wrapped around your neck and one of these beauties on your wrist. I say at least one of these watches is a MUST HAVE!
22. Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque by Kiehl's
Summer may be over, but that doesn't mean that skin routines are. This is a great new addition to that. I'm not a pore lover, and I haven't met anyone who is. This is one of those little helpers that can really make a difference when getting rid of all the nasties that summer left behind in your pores.
Onto my favorite makeup shop, Sephora. Not only do they have great products, but their customer service is by far the best.
23. Soy Face Cleanser by FreshThis is what I live by. If I stop using it and switch out to try something else, my skin isn't nearly as happy. It's refreshing and cleansing without being rough on your skin. I have sensitive skin, but I still want something that does its job. I have oily dry skin. It's not the most fun combination, but this cleanser is the answer. When I use this, my skin feels more moisturized and doesn't get as oily. I'm sure any type of skin would love this, though. This is the biggest MUST HAVE!
24. Naked Smoky by Urban Decay
25. Roller Lash Curling & Lifting Mascara by Benefit CosmeticsThis is by far my holy mascara. I've gotten everyone I mention this to to buy it. I've bought it for 4 of my friends and converted them. Say goodbye to flash extensions and the hassle of curling your lashes or needing multiple coats. This is it. MUST HAVE!
Of course Lolita is the obvious Fall pick for lips, but Jeffree Star Cosmetics offers a few other great options.
Everyone went through the Lime Crime ditch and switch. The big concern was finding quality lipsticks that were liquid and dried matte. We needed them to not flake, though, and to not be drying. We basically wanted Kat Von D with a bigger stock and more pastels. Jeffree Star has that. When products go out of stock, they don't take long to come back, which is AMAZING! The choices are growing as well. All of the colors are just stunning and so pigmented. The formula is amazing and, they're vegan + cruelty free! Oh, and did I mention that you don't have to worry about credit card scams? Yeah, that's always nice. Anyways, I'd recommend all of these shades, even the ones I don't own. I mean I want them all. I only have a few and have borrowed some of my friend's... I have yet to be disappointed. First up is the bundle. Get it. I should actually get it. It comes with 3 lipsticks: Masochist (a red that's more on the hot pink side), Dominatrix (a beautiful milk chocolate that looks like if the prettiest tree trunk and porcelain had a baby... I know weird but stunning), and Dirty Money (this is more of a pastel green with a light grey under tone that says I'm a soft Slytherin or Medusa). Next is Posh Spice. This is a color that Kylie Jenner would wear with the taupe nude feel; it's perfect. Celebrity Skin is also a classic Kylie Jenner would, could, should, and probably will. It's a peachy brown nude that's soft and makes your lips look nice and plump. The second to last is the perfect red, the classic red lip... someone cue Taylor Swift here; it's Redrum. Regardless of the season, everyone always needs a classic red. Last, but not least is Unicorn Blood. The name couldn't suit this color any better if it even tried. It's the perfect burgundy with a brown undertone and a beauty that could only be made for fall. It's so beautiful it must come from unicorns. There's no debate, all of these lip colors are Must HAVES!Asos is my one stop shop. It's where I drop by with my credit card when I want an outfit asap that looks like 30k but doesn't cost me 30k.
I've been lusting over these for a quick second and have decided they're necessary. Fall isn't exactly cold or hot here. I mean it's mainly hot, but there are those slightly less hot days with bits of rain. Anyways, these are perfect for either of those. I could wear shorts or dresses and throw these boots on to keep my legs warm or just wear to look cute. They're not thick, so they wouldn't be uncomfortable on the more usual hot days.
You thought the leather was over? Oh no. These are wrap around and leather.... AND BLACK! These couldn't be more meant for me even if they had my name stamped on them. Plus, they're pointed. If I'm going to wear a close-toed heel it better be pointed. You can't ignore the price, either. I've definitely seen heels like these run for $1K+, so these are a bargain compared to those.
29. Wrap Ponchos by KibootsThese had me at wrap and lost me at Ponchos. I've never been a poncho type of gal. I've always found them unflattering, but I've been converted. These two little numbers (the black based option and the red based option) have me thinking I was wrong. All these ponchos require are a belt and TADAH! You're walking around as if you just left a runway. I mean these are perfect for those days that are feeling a bit chilly, but you don't want to sacrifice your style or comfort. They're the new capes. Capes were insanely big last Fall. This Fall it's about the poncho. MUST HAVE!
30. Coat With Waterfall Front And Belt by Asos Collection
This is just stunning! The color, the design.... it's impeccably constructed. This color was made for Fall in the city. It's the coat you throw on so casually but somehow look put together. It takes a simple black outfit and MAKES it. MUST HAVE!
31. Hats
What's Fall without hats? I'm talking this fedora and/or floppy hats (black or nero). Hats like coats and all other accessories hold more power, during Fall, than usual. It's the time when society deems it okay to wear these things regularly.
32. Turtleneck KnitwearYou mean sweater paws? Well, sign me up! I'm a sucker for sweater paws. I just love the oversized sweaters that you can hibernate in but are cute enough to go out in as well. This navy sweater in mohair, for instance is perfect! Asos has a bunch of these. The turtleneck is a nice twist to the usual over sized sweater. Then there's this awesome sleeveless tunic from New Look which is just as adorable and has the knitwear comfort but lacks the sweater paws. ): You can never go wrong with these colors. It's always cool to have pop of colors, but neutrals are essentials. Either way, they're both staple pieces for a Fall and general wardrobe.
Layers layers layers. It's the season to layer clothes, hair, and necklaces. This set is just right. Everything else is taking the spotlight, so it's better to keep the jewelry simple. These are just that. They're simple but memorable. Dainty but chic. Yes yes yes. Plus, the alternating chain colors make this a bigger yes.
Mistress Rocks is a site I came across on Tumblr that I've found myself going back to a lot this past week.
I first saw this dress on Tumblr and couldn't stop looking for it. A few posts later, I saw Kylie Jenner wearing it, so it wasn't long until everyone wanted to know where it was from. Thank you, Kylie! I'm someone who isn't the biggest fan of suede, but it works here. Perfect color, perfect dress. The suede gives it the right amount of edge to turn this otherwise basic dress into a MUST HAVE!
As soon as I found one dress that had been spotted on Kylie, I found another. It seemed that any outfit I had seen her sporting on Tumblr, which also caught my eye, had been from Mistress Rocks. I basically went through this website finding more and more pieces for this season. I've been loving her style lately. I like to call it rock n chic, which is just what this bandage dress says. It's just enough sexy with the darker, neutral, rockier color while still being part of that Fall color scheme.
Two Piece Set. It's all I have to say. They've been everywhere, so they HAD to make an appearance in my top picks. I am a bit more on the casual side, so I wanted something more simple. I tend to like simplicity over crazy... even though that's a bit contradicting. My mind says simplicity, but my heart says wild. Anyways, this is perfect. I'm all about the two piece sets that aren't exactly the same.
Lastly, the best place for basics is up. It's all about Brandy Melville.
37. Adalie Turtleneck DressThere is no material that compares to Brandy Melville... I mean Topshop has some basics that could compare, but that's a different story. This dress is saying yes yes. It's turtleneck. It's grey. It's ribbed knit. It's the perfect dress to throw on your sneakers with for casual or a pair of your favorite black booties to dress up just a bit.
38. TopsThe array of options are basically endless. There's a style for everyone: tanks, tees, long sleeves, cropped, etc. The material is insane, too. If you want to wear a cloud, then these are it. They are ultra ultra soft. My current favorites, in no particular order, are the Genevie Top in black, which is a classic long sleeve top. The next one is the Arielle Top, it's a short red and striped top with a cute little, blacked out, breast pocket. The third and last, is the ever popular Luana Top. It always comes back, every year. It's the perfect over sized top that doubles as a shirt dress. Two words to describe these tops? Style + Comfort.
39. Sweaters
Similar to the tops, it's almost impossible to narrow it down to a handful of favorites. I wouldn't mind owning ever single piece. Anyways, the two sweaters that won me over, however, are the Gwen Sweater and the Leona Turtleneck Sweater. Gwen is a nice, cozy, pullover, while Leona is darker and more chic. Staple sweaters.
40. Graphics
Fall isn't right without graphics. The sucky thing is that they're really overpriced. I tend to get mine at Forever 21 or thrift shops. I also just like wearing old shirts, but if I'm going to spend $20+ on a simple graphic top it's from Brandy. Again, it's the quality. I mean who doesn't want to feel like they're wearing clouds? So, here are the three that I'd totally sport the most this season: You Can't Sit With Us Tank, Reagan Skeleton Top, and the It's Better In LA Top. All three are perfect for the season without being too casual to be cute. Because we all have those days we just throw on graphic shirts and just don't care. Let me know what some of YOUR fall picks are for this year!
Xx
